Specification of Letters Patent. 'Patentefl Sept, 28,, 11 909.

Application filed March 19, 1908. Serial No. 422,068.

To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that 1, WILLIAM T. MGRAE,

of the city of Philadelphia, county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement 1n. Box-Machines, of which the followmg 1s a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in making boxes, and more especially wooden boxes and packing cases.

This invention is an improvement on the construction shown in Patent No. 876,485,

dated January 14th, 1908. My invention,;

box ejected In entering into the construction of the actual machine, I have found that the construction formerly disclosed had to-be improved materially to the end that the machine could be made more car able of doing better work.

his invention relates, therefore, to improve ents along the lines stated, with the gener i object of producing an efliclent and very rapid working machine for turning out boxesor packing cases of any desired size within reasonable limits, and for turning them out well and cheaply made.

Reference is to behad to the accompanyperfect and ing drawing forming a partof this specification, in which similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts inall the views.-

Figure 1 is'a front elevatlon of the ma- Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof chine. showing the arrangement of the various hoppers. Fig. 3 is a right hand side elevation. Fig. 4 is aleft hand side elevation. F ig.. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of one of the side board hoppers, showing the adjustable construction thereof, and the means for ejecting the bottom board and placing it upon the tilting table hereinafter referred to.

Fig. 6 is a vertical section on the line 66 of h Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 6, but shows the tilting table onto which one of the. side boards has been pushed, and con-- necting mechanism. .Fig. 8 is a vertical sectional View of the tilting table in a right angle to Fig. -7, showing its side board hopper and a front view of the four former bars counter-shaft 15, and this connects .around which the box is formed or shaped. Fig. 9 is a View similar to Fig. 8 but showing the second side board hopper with its tilting table, the mechanism for tilting such table. and a section from the lower end board hopper. Fig. 10 is a horizontal section through the second side board hopper and shows the mechanism for pushing the lower end board. Fig. 11 is a vertical sectional view similar to Figs. 8 and 9, but shows the tables of the two side board hoppers tilted, thereby pressing the two side boards against the former bars. Fig. 12 is a central vertical section through Fig. 11, showing the adjustments .for'the former bars for the stationary table and the upperend board hopper. Fig. 13 is a vertical sectional view showing the four "boards which have been placed around the former bars, pushed forward against the bottom board that has been brought into position from the bottom board hopper. Fig. 1% is a horizontal section through the bottom board hopper showing the push bars and tilting table. Fig. 15 is a vertical section on the line 1515 of Fig. 14. Fig. 16 is a horizontal section illustrating the mechanism for operating the drop plates. Fig. 17 is a vertical section giving a side view of the mechanism shown in Fig. 1G and illustrating the mechanism for operating a plunger for nailing the boxes. Fig. 18 is a horizontal section above the bed plate of the machine, showing-the driving mechanism for the various devices, and Fig. 19 is a vertical section for the same purpose.

The machine is provided with a suitable frame 10, and obviously any usual means can be employed for driving it. As shown it has'a driving pulley 11 and a shaft 12, which connect by gears 13 and .14 with a by gears 16 and 17 with the main shaft 18 which is the main driving shaft, and from which the mechanism of the machine is operated as hereinafter described.

On the top part of the machine are a series oppers vertically arranged and marked A,

.B, C, D and E. The hoppers A and B are
